Changing Podcast thumbnails?

i working on my first Podcast page. I created the artwork in Photoshop, dragged and dropped that into my podcast in Garageband, and then exported the podcast to disk and then inserted it into a Podcast new entry template. Now, obviously in the entry page, when you drop the podcast in the placeholder, it shows the first graphic in the podcast.
I was wondering if its possible to have a different image on the podcast thumbnail when you are on the main podcast page? if so, how do I do it. Currently, the thumbnail shows the same image that is on the entry page.
thanks for any and all insight.

The thumbnail image on the main podcast page draws directly from the placeholder image on the entry page...as you know. But what you probably don't realize is that the placeholder image doesn't have to be the main image on your entry page.
For example....try this....
Do you have an image in mind that you want for the thumbnail image??? If so, go ahead and drop the image into the placeholder on the entry page. It should show up in the thumbnail, right? Good. Now here's what I want you to try... on the entry page and with the placeholder image selected, open up the Inspector and click to the Metrics tab. Click on the box that says "Use original size". See how the placeholder image changes? Now make sure that the "constrain" box above that is checked. Now change one of the parameters...either width or height....to make the placeholder image itty bitty...like 100 pixels or something. Finally, click over to the Inspector Graphics tab. All the way at the bottom you should see the opacity slider. Type 0% into the box...... Pooof! The placeholder image is invisible. But look on the main podcast page....the thumbnail is still there!
Does this give you any ideas? It should. My point is that you can simply use the placeholder image on the entry pages only to provide the link to the thumbnail on the main podcast page. Then you can get it out of the way. THEN you can put any number of other images onto your podcast entry page to make it as snazzy as you want. Each podcast entry is like an individual webpage. Create!

  • Is there a way to change the thumbnails for movies/videos?

    This may be more of a Leopard question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to change the thumbnail that OSX and Front Row display of movie files. I think this feature is awesome but would love to have more control over it so I can pick a frame from the video that relevant to me. Imagine Front Row's menu for movies with a bunch of thumbnails that are title screens or your favorite scenes from your movie collection (rather than a random thumbnail that may or may not even be identifiable to that movie).
    I've already included this request to Apple in a suggestion I sent along including a few other Front Row requests/suggestions I had including movie/video playlists, album art support over streaming/shared libraries, and music that doesn't stop playing when you return to the main menu.

    It appears that "saving" doesn't impact the quality, but wraps the file up in the .mov format (size and quality appear to stay the same). It worked ("saving" instead of using the save as a reference movie seems to fix the starting playback from the poster-frame issue). However, now a new issue has come up... I like to save the files to DVD as the original .avi so they will play on our Philips DVD players. However, being wrapped up in .mov means I have to have two versions of the file, and if my HDD ever dies or fills up I'll have to always correct the poster frame, and save another copy from the .avi original. Kind of frustrating... I wish Front Row/Quick Time would let you easily change the thumbnail and not have to change the format, etc.
    Thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully some of this feedback has helped others with similar questions.

  • HT2506 Change the Thumbnail view in Preview (Mac)

    Hi everybody!
    I am wondering if there is the chance to change the thumbnails view  in order to display pdf pages on two or more columns, the same as in acrobat it is increasing or decreasing the size of the thumbnail window or zooming in/out in the same window.
    Thank you for your support!
    Best regards!

    Minimally, are you aware that Artists view has an Artwork Size slider under the View Options menu item?  These preferences stick with the application. 
    I mucked around for a while before I realized that View Options items change for each view.  Still smallish in the Artists right column at maximum, but better than nothing, and I would have expected to expand the graphics view all the way up to a full window in Albums view, which doesn't seem possible. 
    Also, I noted there doesn't seem to be a way to view full size album art other than selecting the art icon of the currently song, up at the top.  Still there under Get Info in the song record but I couldn't figure out how to view anything larger but through the icon at the top.  Not a big deal overall, but I have occasionally opened multiple album art and tiled them to check details side by side. 
    Alsoalso, I thought I could put the album art full screen like an audio slide show and blot out the background, but that seems to have disappeared.  Again, not that important to me, but odd. 

  • How do I change the thumbnail preview picture

    How do I change the thumbnail preview picture?  I've got a 3d model and I want a particular view to be the thumbnail picture as well as the default view.  I believe I've done that before but cannot figure out how I did it.

    I'm working with pages that are comprised only one picture of a 3d object (a table).  I really believe I was able to change the thumbnail to a particular point of view but can't remember how I did it.  It's been so long that I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I was able to.

  • I would like to change the thumbnails to maximum? Please advise,thanks

    I would like to change the thumbnails to maximum? Please advise,thanks

    You made the disk using the Shre -> Burn menu? That makes a mini-library for use with other iPhoto Library users.
    Select the shots you want to print in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop.
    Burn that folder to the CD using the Finder's File -> Burn Disk command.

  • How do I change the thumbnail for a video file?

    Can I change the thumbnail for a video file (ex. .mov) in Bridge CS4?

    Can I change the thumbnail for a video file (ex. .mov) in Bridge CS4?
    Not to my knowledge. It seems it takes a snapshot from about the 10th second of the movie and creates a thumbnail for it. On a Mac the finder thumbnail shows the first frame of a movie, both don't seem to be able in getting customized.
    It will be down to a good naming convention I'm afraid. Not having CS4 installed anymore but on Bridge CS6 .mov files play on an reasonable sized scale in good quality in the preview window, maybe that will help you?

  • Podcast thumbnails coming in as itunes album art covers?

    Some of my album art fron iTunes is replacing the Podcast Thumbnails.....

    Don't touch the Artist field — select the entire album, Get Info (command-I), and enter the primary artist's name in the Album Artist field. This tells iTunes the album is a single artist's work, but that other artists feature on individual tracks. If you then sort on the Album column (including "Album by Artist" and "Album by Year"), the album will have a single cover art associated with it.

  • How to change a thumbnail in Top Sites

    (Using  Safari 7)
    I know I can drag a URL to the Top Sites page to add it, but invaribly it does not add the thumbnail I want.  A good example of this is the Google Calendar.  If I have the calendar open and drag the URL to Top Sites I get a thumbnail of the Google login page, which doesn't accurately depict the content.  This used to happen with Facebook, but mysteriously that finally changed to an actual Facebook page thumbnail.  This was never a problem with previous versions of Safari, so wondering if there's a way to force a page thumbnail onto the Top Sites page in Safari 7. Thanks for any help.

    I understand. You could try deleting the cache database ...
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Podcast thumbnails are mixed up

    I'm finding a funny thing seems to be happening with my iPod and itunes..
    First I find that now when I download podcasts in itunes I get a load of failed downloads, (any thoughts why?) but secondly when I look at the thumbnails for each of the podcasts on the iPod they are all mixed up, all in the wrong place, what should I do, restore the iPod? or is there a better thing to do?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem, and it's really annoying because I'm always clicking the wrong podcast because usually one tends to look at the thumb first.

  • How can you change the thumbnail selected for an Album in Photos?

    I'm having difficulty changing the photo that is automatically selected as the thumbnail on an iPad Air and iPad Mini.  How can I change this, and what parameter governs which photo is selected?
    There are a number of threads about changing the name, the creation date, the modified date, and none of those have worked for me.  After changing these various parameters, I have unsynced and resynced photos, and at this point, it is becoming an obsession of mine to change this. :-)
    I would appreciate any input if you've been able to do this in iOS7 and Maverics.  Thanks in advance!

    Okay, now it is working. I had to save the XLSX-file into the older XLS format, but that seems to work quite well.
    But I won't ever understand why InDesign loses its backward compatibility from one version to the other.
    Thank you, -hans-.

  • How can I change the thumbnail of my iMovie 10.0.2 stills file?

    How can I set the thumbnail in iMovie 10.0.2
    It was the first image in the movie ( the one I want to use) and then for some reason it changed itself to a random image from the movie and keeps randomly changing.

  • Finder: Changing from thumbnail view to column view takes me back to the root folder.

    Hi,
    I was hoping someone could help me with this as it's getting a bit tedious having to re-navigate back to the folder I was in. This problem is only occuring when I am working from an external NAS Drive.
    I need to switch between thumbnail view and column view regularly, but whenever I change from thumnails to column - finder jumps back to the root folder, meaning I have to work my way back to where I was.
    I can't figure out how to stop this happening! It doesn't happen when changing from column to thumbnails, only the other way round..
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Sarah.

    Hi Barney,
    Thanks for your reply Unfortunately though I already use AFP on the NAS drive and still have the problem, so it seems this is an issue with both AFP and CIFS..

  • Want to change podcast artwork: not showing up in iTunes Store

    Hi. I want to change the icon/artwork for my podcast.
    My website (created with iWeb) = www.manleywoman.com
    My podcast in iTunes Store = Manleywoman SkateCast
    I use Garageband to create my podcast, then save to iWeb, then save to iTunes. So I changed the artwork on the podcast itself in Garageband. That worked fine and shows up properly on my website and on the episode for which the artwork was changed. I thought that changing the artwork on the podcast RSS page of my website would automatically change it in the iTunes Store, but so far no luck.
    Can someone walk me through how to make the proper artwork show up in the iTunes Store? Right now it's just a broken link. Thanks

    You can update your artwork via feedburner.
    1. Go to feedburner.com and log in to your account.
    2. Click on your feed for the show.
    3. Click on the OPTIMIZE tab at the top, then click SMARTCAST on the navigation bar to your left.
    4. Under PODCAST IMAGE LOCATION you can add the url to the image you want to use (store it in your site folder somewhere).
    You can also add in keywords, and description as well.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to manually change the thumbnail images of the new tab page (without using addons)?

    I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').
    (I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)
    So, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.
    I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic
    *https://forums.comodo.com <br /> & https://forums.comodo.com/index.php?action=search2
    You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29
    * See [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
    * Download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26
